It is essential that everyone reports to Patterdale School at the end of the relevant walk so they can be checked out. This includes people who have dropped out - who should report from the valley bottom and not from the fell!

People within each Team should keep together all the time and should not split up

If one Team member wishes to drop out, the other team members should take responsibility and make sure he or she is safe and reports to Patterdale School

If a Team member becomes a casualty, one member should stay with the casualty while another reports to Patterdale School
